Shonee McWilliams churns out at least 100 pies from her home kitchen in East Belfast to delighted pastry fans every Saturday, and has been doing so for the past year.
Operating under the brand name Pie Queen, Shonee describes setting up the business as a "necessity" as she lost her job working as a chef when the venue she worked in closed down early in the pandemic.
Cooking and baking professionally for ten years, she had always wanted to go out on her own, but thought it was a "good few years down the line." Losing the job she "loved very much" spurred her on to go out on her own.
